Hello, I don't know if I stumped the band or just asked an incredibly dumb question. I just can't stand the silent treatment so I'm asking again. If it is a dumb question, just say so.....I'll get over it. ;-) Here it is: I have a partition on another machine that I would like to use for storage from this machine. How can I mount it? The machine in question is partitioned: Win98, BeOS, and an empty ext2 partition, which is the one I want to access. Is this doable? What the heck do I use, as I'm (still) drawing a blank. Thanks. -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net RLU #12043 SuSE 7.1 PRO
It is doable, if I remember right BeOS has NFS capability or AFS, personally I like AFS for this type of work a little bit better but NFS is more popular and I believe more supported. You need to share out your partition that you want to use from your machine. If it was a MS compatable partition you could even use samba and then it wouldn't matter wich OS was up as long as you remounted it when you rebooted the serving machine. In any case you need to have the OS on the machine with the hard drive you wish to mount share it out so as the machine you are using can see the mount point, if you use NFS, AFS, Samba or some other network capable file system is completely up to you.

Thanks for the response. However, this ext2 partition is not owned or vivible by any OS on that disk. It is just empty space now. But perhaps I should redo the partitioning scheme so, say, Win98 can see it and then it would be accessible through the network. Thanks again. -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net RLU #12043 SuSE 7.1 PRO
